The Reds squad flew out of Liverpool John Lennon Airport on Monday afternoon, destined for Spain and the club's fourth Champions League clash of the season against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Brendan Rodgers and his players resume their Group B campaign tomorrow against Carlo Ancelotti's side, who claimed a 3-0 win at Anfield two weeks ago and propelled themselves to top of the La Liga table at the weekend.

The Reds assembled at Melwood, where Jose Enrique shared the below picture via Twitter as the team prepared to depart for Speke airport - and Daniel Sturridge kept Kopites in the loop with his Instagram post as the plane waited on the tarmac.
